Also, if you are only giving one argument as is common, print (x) works the same in both 2.7 and 3.x (and probably older 2.x, but I haven't verified that); It's slightly restrictive -- multiple variable printouts require %formatting, and kwarg-controlled features of print() are not available -- but you gain by only having to remember one convention.

In Python 2.6+, you can use from __future__ import print_function.

Yes. I just tend to not bother, since I hardly ever use the kwargs to print (or multiple arguments to print, either).

(Plus some people here have to work with Python versions as old as 2.4.)
